Leave him the way he was when you harvested him! JMO I would not want to have it fixed. Thats not the way he was when you shot him. Like I said this is just my opinion, do what you want to it's going on your wall!! It will look good either way!!!!!

If it ain't broke, don't fix it. . .

Okay, well, maybe that old adage doesn't work here.

What I do is use playdoe and fix them just to see him as he was ment to be if I like it I repair it. You will. It takes me many hours to get it perfect. By the way hes a beutty.

I'm hoppin' on the bandwagon here...keep him as he is. Fake is fake. Besides, that ol' boy you killed, EARNED every little nic, scratch and break...the "damage" is like battle ribbons!

Mount it for crying out loud!!!!! why not. its a great deer and I know Id be proud to have taken him and I know Id mount him .Just my thought. Dont be thinking of what others will think if you mount a deer thats not a record book deer.

Keep it like it was when you shot it.

I know a guy who gets almost every buck he shoots with a break fixed. Ifa tine is busted it gets fixed, if a tip is broken, it gets fixed and on and on. In my mind that isnt the buck he shot.

I was thinking the same thing last year when I got my buck. I thought about fixing his brow tines, but then realized that it just wouldn't seem right somehow. I got him mounted with broken brow tines and he's still every bit a trophy to me. Good mass and nice long tines. Best buck I've ever killed. And in Pa I always seem to get deer with busted up tines. Alot of fighters I guess. Take a look at his right ear he was a fighter for sure.
